This review presents a systematic and comprehensive survey of various applications of bismuth compounds to organic transformations. The review is organized on the basis of the type of compounds, and within each type reactions are organized on the basis of the transformations involved. Emphasis is placed on the recent literature, and on those reactions which the authors feel have synthetic potential. Less common aspects of organobismuth compounds are also included briefly.
